Welcome to the Margaret Cusack Professional Development Award Campaign!

This campaign, held in celebration of World Voice Day, honors past Region Governor, Margaret Cusack, and raises funds for a scholarship awarded at the National Conference every two years. The award will provide financial support to teachers from the Eastern Region who have been selected as clinicians, presenters, or poster paper presenters at the National Conference. It is intended to help cover travel expenses for those who have been invited to present. Depending on the funds raised, at least one teacher will receive the award.

Our goal is to encourage donor participation. The upcoming 59th NATS National Conference inspires our aim to secure at least 59 donors on World Voice Day, April 16th. We hope to raise $1,000 to support one teacher. Please help us in achieving this goal by making a gift today and sharing our Campaign with colleagues, family, friends, and arts education advocates!

Our region is committed to giving back by supporting teachers in their continued professional development and helping them advance music education!

THANK YOU!

-Eastern Region Leadership

Each year, a different Governor will be selected to be recognized through this initiative.
